WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK

I wanted to read a book that told me the truth about what’s happening to my over-40 face and body—and what do about it. I bought every single book on fashion, beauty, style—and none of them said what I wanted to hear. Which is:

“Between you and me, girlfriend, aging sucks. But don’t worry; we can do something about it. There are smart, fast and easy ways that will make you look ten years younger, ten pounds lighter, ten times better! Whether you can spend whatever it takes—or only the least amount possible. Here are all your To-Do’s, complete with a shopping list of all the products that really deliver results—and all the places to go to get gorgeous in a city near you. Let’s get started.”

In the 99 books I read, there were tons of tomes that tried to make me feel better by telling me to celebrate my wrinkles, to light a candle, run a bath, say a mantra and grow old gracefully. I’m here to tell you that that doesn’t work. Not for a boomer woman who is trying to stay vibrant and visible in order to keep her job until she says it’s time to go. The truth is, looking younger isn’t just about vanity anymore...it’s become a necessary strategy for survival in our youth-obsessed culture where women—unfortunately—cannot afford to look their age. So I wrote the boomer woman’s survival guide. Because there isn’t a woman I know who doesn’t need it (including, me!). I hope you love it.

Send me any feedback you have on the salons I've mentioned in the book as well as any fashion and beauty tips that you've found especially helpful. I look forward to hearing from you.
